U2 Premiere New Video


The video for U2’s new single, “Get On Your Boots”, is premiering today

“Get On Your Boots” has been directed by French film maker and artist Alex Courtes. Alex and former creative partner Martin Fougeral directed the Grammy winning video for “Vertigo”, and also directed the video for “City of Blinding Lights”.

The video was shot in London and features the band performing against complex graphic art designed by Courtes.

Speaking of the song and the video, The Edge has said, “It's based around the idea that men have f**ked things up so badly, politically, economically and socially, that it's really time we handed things over to women. The finished video is brilliant. He's really nailed it."

“Get On Your Boots” is the first single from U2's 12th studio album No Line On The Horizon, out 2nd March 2009.

I was talking to a blog Pal O' mine tonight, and although I'm NOT a fan of U2, we both agreed that U2 would probably be a future Superbowl half-time event in upcoming years. It'll probably happen...

Check his archives.

The "LoveTel Bits" posts are funny as hell.

That is all.

I think U2 were a Superbowl halftime band several years back. I have to admit, Bruce Springsteen put on a great performance this year, and I can't say I'm too much of a Boss fan. Still, hope his nuts are OK (you see his sliding crash into the camera?). I'm really looking forward to this album and I dig the song. Will have to check the vid too now (thanks Bob)!

Thanks Heff. I posted a link to his blog, but he might have a larger reader-base than I do.

Steve, I posted this knowing you'd love it!
